I understand it is quite a circus up there getting everyone signed up and planning the event. So quit clowning around and get your apps in. This one will be another one for the books that we cant talk about after we leave Ponderossa Pines.

Just in case some of you didn’t read it: dessert qualification s are: must have at least one of these ingredients. Candy apple, caramel popcorn, funnel cake, circus peanuts, cotton candy, animal crackers. The twist this year is must be gluten free! Yeap, lets see what you great cooks can come up with this year! Good luck!

Mary, you just don’t realize how great our cowboys and girls here can bake. I give them twists and turns each year and they come up with some amazing desserts. Maybe you might want to be a dessert judge?

I've got an announcement to make!!! I paid a visit to my foot doctor this morning at a ridiculous hour!! After a year and nineteen days, I am free to begin walking again, if I can figure out how to do it!! I've been five weeks without ANY bleeding or drainage and the skin has grown back sufficiently to allow me to put real weight on my foot!!!

Now if I can just figure out this "walking" thing and get some strength and stamina back!!
